Louis Galloche (Paris, August 24, 1670 - Paris, July 21, 1761) was a French painter. He was a pupil of Louis Boullogne. In 1695 he won the Prix de Rome and subsequently lived in Rome for two years. Because of a lull in royal patronage, Galloche was obliged, on his return to Paris, to accept commissions from churches and monasteries. In 1711 he was received as a member of the Académie Royale, Paris. He became professor at the Académie in 1720, rector in 1746 and chancellor in 1754. Between 1737 and 1751 he exhibited regularly at the Salons.
